Pat Sloan: Scrap Happy Little Wishes Challenge

Time for my Fall 2015 Quilt Challenge! My challenges this year have been to use up your SCRAPS.... this is a GOOD thing right? Because then you have more ROOM for new things.. like my fabric... wink!

My family has a fall tradition. We take time to go outside in the evening and look at the night sky. Once the air becomes crisp and clear, pull on a sweater and stand out under the stars, then Make a Wish!

'Little Wishes' is the name of my Scrap Happy Star block! Fall is a GREAT time to dig into your scrap stash!

I've decided to use ONLY my Moda fabric lines PLUS the black and white polka dot for my star points, this is going to be SO fun!

Cut a lot of scraps into 2.5" squares. Use up left over jelly rolls, ends of Fat Quarters, extra scraps you have to use up

Cut 3.5" background squares

Cut 4" light background squares for HST

Cut 4" star point squares. I am going to use the same fabric for all the points

Use my Little Wishes Star block pattern (see below)

Start sewing Little Wishes blocks!

By Nov 1 make a crib size or larger quilt TOP to share!! Woohoo! I will put a page up on Nov 1 for you to share your quilt TOP (note the word top, although i will give extra brownie points for it being quilted). Then on Nov 15 I'll pick someone to win a prize from me!

Here is a refresher on how to make 2 Half Square Triangle blocks (HST) from squares. The size above is what I use in my stars.

Between now and then I'm going to post some options, inspirations, and have some photo sharing so we can share our progress
